Dysmenorrhea is a very common condition that affects 90% of women.
It is divided into primary dysmenorrhea, which is not visually apparent, and secondary dysmenorrhea,
which is caused by lesions such as uterine fibroids and adenomas.

Primary dysmenorrhea

It occurs due to uterine contraction and decreased blood flow caused by hormonal changes during menstruation. It occurs a few hours before or just before the start of menstruation and lasts for 2-3 days. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, and in rare cases, fainting may occur. Take painkillers just before the pain startsand take them periodically during menstruation. Oral contraceptives are also effective in improving pain.

Secondary dysmenorrhea

Menstrual pain caused by pelvic lesions, which can be caused by endometriosis, uterine glands, fibroids, and loops.Ultrasound and diagnostic laparoscopy may be required for confirmation, and if the lesion is confirmed, treatment must be administered to remove the cause.

The menstrual cycle becomes somewhat regular after two years of menarche. However, if it is repeatedly shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days and does not show regularity, it can be called irregular menstruation. It is mostly caused by temporary hormonal imbalance, and the causes include stress, depression, chronic disease, excessive exercise or diet, and underweight or overweight. A representative menstrual irregularity disease is polycystic ovary syndrome, and lesions such as endometriosis can also be the cause. The cause can be identified through a pregnancy test, hormone test, and ultrasound examination to check the pelvic organs. If no other abnormalities are found and there are findings of hormonal imbalance, you can try taking hormonal agents or oral contraceptives for 3-6 months.

This is a condition in which urine is excreted regardless of time and place, regardless of one's will. About 30% of women and 40-50% of the elderly over 65 years of age have this condition. When urine accumulates, the bladder expands and the urethral sphincter contracts reflexively to tighten the bladder inlet and prevent urine from leaking. When the amount of urine increases to a certain extent, contraction is controlled through the sensory nerves distributed in the bladder wall, allowing urination. In other words, when a signal comes from the brain, the bladder wall contracts and, conversely, the urethral sphincter relaxes, allowing urine to be excreted. In order for normal bladder function to occur, the bladder, urethral sphincter, and nervous system must all function without problems, but if there is a problem in any of these, urinary incontinence occurs.

Types of incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence

This is the most common type, accounting for about 50%.It occurs when the bladder contracts and the urethral sphincter muscle relaxes when the stomach is involuntarily strained, such as when coughing, sneezing, jumping rope, or laughing. It can occur frequently after childbirth, during menopause, obesity, or asthma.

Urge incontinence

It accounts for about 20% of cases , and symptoms include sudden urge to urinate, inability to hold it in before reaching the bathroom, or inability to hold it in . It occurs when the bladder tubes contract on their own even before the bladder is full of urine, and is often caused by diseases such as cystitis, diabetes, bladder outlet obstruction, or autonomic nervous system malfunction.

therapy

Treatment for the most common stress urinary incontinence in women includes nonsurgical treatments such as drug therapy, pelvic floor muscle exercise, electrical stimulation therapy, biofeedback, and extracorporeal electrical field therapy, but the recurrence rate is higher than that of surgical treatment. However, recently, the effectiveness of drug treatment has increased due to the development of various drugs, and if urinary incontinence exercises are performed consistently, a certain degree of symptom improvement can be expected.

Non-surgical treatment

Drug treatment

Stabilizes smooth muscles of the bladder and strengthens contractility of the urethral sphincter

Pelvic muscle training (Kegel exercise)

Training to restore weakened pelvic muscles and vaginal elasticity

Electrical stimulation therapy

A method of restoring contractile strength and elasticity by applying electrical stimulation to the pelvic muscles, which is particularly effective for frequent urination or urgency.

Biofeedback therapy

A behavioral therapy method that uses a machine to help you feel the contraction of your pelvic floor muscles and your urinary muscles.

Surgical treatment

Sling surgery

A method of restoring the function of the urethral sphincter by lifting the bladder neck upward using the fascia surrounding the abdominal muscles, vaginal tissue, or synthetic materials.

laparotomy

A method of correcting loose tissue around the urethra by making an incision in the lower abdominal skin and tying it with thread.

Laparoscopic surgery

A method of correcting loose bladder urethral tissue by inserting a laparoscope through three small holes in the abdomen and tying it with thread.

Perirethral injection

This is performed when the function of the urethra itself is reduced by injecting substances such as silicone collagen around the urethra to increase the pressure in the urethra.

TVT/TOT surgery

A method of inserting a biotape into the vagina, lifting the urethra, and hanging the tape on the abdomen.

prevention

"Prevent urinary incontinence with regular exercise and proper eating habits for a healthy tomorrow" Since obesity and aging are the causes of stress urinary incontinence, it is important to maintain and manage an appropriate weight with proper eating habits and regular exercise. In addition, since childbirth affects urinary incontinence, it is recommended to continue pelvic muscle exercises after giving birth. Also, to prevent urge urinary incontinence, avoid squatting when working and avoid spicy and salty foods, coffee, and carbonated drinks that stimulate the bladder.

This is an inflammation of the genitals caused by the proliferation of foreign pathogens in the vagina. Common symptoms include discharge, a large amount of discharge, andpus-like or mucus-like discharge. If it is bloody or has a bad odor, there is a high possibility of a foreign substance or fibroids in the vagina, and pain when urinating and itching of the genitals. In the case of Trichomoniasis, the most common vaginitis, the discharge is greenish yellow and blistered, there is itching of the vulva, a burning sensation, and pain during sexual intercourse, and in the case of Candida vaginitis, there is a white, hard discharge and severe itching of the vulva, and the bacteria reside in the oral cavity or vaginal opening. In general, it is caused by infection from sexual intercourse, damp heat and phlegm descending, lesions such as stress, food, and uterine blood stasis, and vaginitis caused by uterine fibroids.

therapy

Appropriate antibiotics and vaginal disinfection treatment should be performed.

여성의 경우 20세가 넘고 성적으로 활발해지면 방광염에 걸리기가 쉽습니다. 소변시 적은 소변량, 불쾌감, 통증,
잦은소변, 농이 섞인 소변등의 증상이 나타납니다. 여성의 요도는 남성보다 짧기 때문에 병균이 침투하기 쉽고
기력의 저하, 소변을 많이 참는 경우, 과로와 감기 스트레스 등으로 몸의 저항력이 약해진 경우, 성교시 병균이
요도로 침입하여 발병합니다.

therapy

The symptoms of cystitis are uncomfortable and difficult, but most cases improve with appropriate antibiotic treatment. It is recommended to drink water frequently and not hold urine. Also, excessive sexual intercourse can be a cause, and please be careful as it often occurs in situations where immunity is low, such as maintaining cleanliness with detergents.

Inflammation of the pelvis of women, mainly caused by reproductive diseases. If it gets worse, the inflammation can spread to the ovaries and fallopian tubes, causing unfortunate situations. The lower back and lower abdomen feel sore, the pelvic pain gets worse during sex, the discharge is often bad, white discharge comes out little by little, the face is yellow, there is indigestion, urination is weak or frequent, and the person feels cold a lot. It can occur when there is sexual intercourse disorder, poor follow-up after childbirth or miscarriage, or when there is inflammation in the uterus and an IUD is inserted, or when oral contraceptives are taken for a long time.

therapy

Mild pelvic inflammatory disease can be treated with oral medication, outpatient treatment, injections, and nitrogen detoxification, but if accompanied by a high fever or if an abscess is found on ultrasound, hospitalization for antibiotic treatment may be required, and sometimes surgery may be necessary.

Endometrial cancer is a cancer that occurs in the uterus and is relatively common in Western women with good socioeconomic conditions. However, in Korea, the incidence is increasing as the living environment is gradually becoming westernized. Fortunately, symptoms of endometrial cancer appear relatively quickly and lymph node metastasis is less frequent than cervical cancer or ovarian cancer, so if it is detected early, the cure rate is very high.

therapy

Treatment methods for endometrial cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, and vary depending on the stage of cancer progression (stage), histological differentiation of cancer cells, histological type of cancer, age, and general condition of the patient. Since endometrial cancer is a cancer affected by female hormones, hormone therapy is sometimes used.

Uterine fibroids Adenomyosis is the most common female gynecological tumor. It is a tumor that occurs in the uterine muscle tissue as immature muscle cells in the uterus grow.Its size varies and it is found in more than 20% of women in their 20s to 40s, the reproductive age group, and in about 30 to 40% of women in their 40s and older, making it one of the most common diseases in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Even unmarried women can be diagnosed with fibroids or adenomyosis with a simple ultrasound examination, so they should have regular checkups and not miss the opportunity for early treatment.

therapy

If there are no special symptoms, it is okay to follow up. Uterine fibroids are not malignant (cancer). Also, they rarely interfere with pregnancy. Fibroids grow slowly and when menopause occurs and hormone levels decrease, their size decreases and they disappear, so in most cases, the best treatment is to just watch them.

Uterine preservation
radiofrequency ablation

This method approaches uterine fibroids through the vagina or laparoscope, destroys and melts the fibroids using high frequency, and induces natural atrophy. It does not require hospitalization and preserves the normal uterus, so patient satisfaction is very high. However, since one procedure is not completely effective, 2-3 procedures may be required, and since it is not yet covered by insurance,the cost burden is higher than other methods.

Laparoscopic
myomectomy

This is chosen when planning to give birth in the future or wanting to preserve the uterus entirely. There is a possibility of recurrence compared to hysterectomy, but patient satisfaction is high because the uterus is preserved. If the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon, the results are better than open surgery. The field of view is expanded, allowing even small lesions to be identified, and the recovery after surgery is fast and there are few adhesions, which are major advantages. In the case of endometrial submucous fibroids, good results can be expected by using the hysteroscope.

Laparoscopic
hysterectomy

This is the surgical method chosen when there is no other treatment method or the most certain treatment method. It is chosen when malignancy (cancer) is suspected, there is a high possibility of recurrence, or other treatment methods are not effective. Of course, since the surgery is performed using a laparoscope and the vagina and ovaries are 100% preserved, there are no problems with marital relations or daily life after the surgery.

Please protect your precious body with regular cervical cancer screening and cervical cancer vaccine. Cervical cancer is the entrance to the uterus connected to the vagina, and cancer that occurs here is called cervical cancer. It is a female reproductive cancer that occurs in the cervix, the entrance to the uterus, and one person dies of cervical cancer every two minutes around the world. Cervical cancer was most common in women in their 40s and 50s, but it also occurs in women in their 20s and 60s and older, and it is significantly increasing in young women under 30, and in particular, the probability of adenocarcinoma and cervical precancer is increasing.

therapy

The vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus infection, which is a risk factor for cervical cancer, has an approximately 80% preventive effect. For sexual intercourse, which is the infection route, healthy sexual activity, balanced diet, regular exercise, appropriate stress management, and non-smoking are helpful health promotion activities. Cervical cancer is classified into stages 1 to 4, and treatment principles are established for each stage. For stages 1 to early 2, both surgery and concurrent chemoradiation therapy are possible, and for cancer that has progressed beyond late stage 2, concurrent chemoradiation therapy is performed. Cervical cancer surgery is aimed at complete cure, and the tissues removed include the uterus, parauterine tissue (tissue next to the uterus), and pelvic lymph nodes. Depending on the results of the pathological examination after surgery, chemoradiation therapy, which simultaneously administers anticancer drugs and radiation therapy, may be necessary as an adjuvant treatment.

therapy

It is about the size of a thumb joint and hangs on both sides of the uterus. It refers to cases where tissues that are not visible in normal people are created in the ovaries, and these tissues grow larger over time. However, if these tissues do not metastasize to other places and only grow in place, it is called a benign tumor, and if they metastasize to other places and grow larger, it is called a malignant tumor. Non-cancerous cysts are created according to the menstrual cycle and do not cause problems in the human body in most cases. Ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose early because the patient does not feel any symptoms or physical changes until it is considerably advanced. In addition, even if there are symptoms in the early stages, most of them are vague and non-specific symptoms such as abdominal distension, irregular menstruation, constipation, frequent urination, menstrual cramps, and pain during intercourse, which are not characteristic symptoms of ovarian cancer.

therapy

Surgical treatment

A cyst that does not decrease in size or a cyst of any size requires immediate examination and surgery. In young women, only the ovary with the cyst is removed. If it is diagnosed as cancer or in the pre- or postmenopausal period when there is a high possibility of malignancy, both the uterus and both ovaries are removed.

Radiation therapy

It is used as an adjuvant after surgery for early-stage cancer or in cases where cancer is already found to be terminal.

Cancer treatment

Like radiation therapy, it is used in cases of terminal cancer, and is used as an adjuvant after surgical treatment. 10% of ovarian tumors are malignant, and once they are malignant, the treatment effect is generally not as good as that of other cancers. This is why early detection is important.
